## Resource

Your AC just got a whole lot more expensive — thanks to a sneaky trade rule change. That quiet Mexican-made unit you’ve been relying on? Now facing nearly 25% tariffs after a key exemption was scrapped. HVAC giants like Lennox raised prices in May, right as summer heat hits — but don’t panic: repair shops are using tech to cut costs and absorb the blow, so your bill won’t spike as much. Lock in that quote now — those low prices might be your last chance. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
